ulrikft, sweet M6. Not sure why you'd wanna hang that brick underneath it since the M6 manual film transport is silky smooth and silent. To each their own!

For those that enjoy the classics, here's one of my M3:

Great Alexandre!

Quite the obsession you have there...

One question: what lens did you use for the group shot? There is some major barrel distortion going on there...

I'm pretty sure he owns an 18/3.5 as well, and I don't see it in the group shot...

I wish, Kyle, I wish. But I wish a 5D more.
PhotoMaximum I have a Vivitar 17/3.5 but I used the Tamron 17-50 on this one. And it's not an obsession, it's a collection. Careful, she's so sensitive.

I got mine for a RIDICULOUS price cause it had a little fungus on the inside of the rear element - cleaning about to commence

It's so mint I could swear it had never been used..

Damn nice lens.

A w e s o m e alexandre.... I love Zuikos as well. I'm going tiny with my Zuikos for travel photography. I'll travel just with a 21 3.5, 50 1.8, and go slightly larger with a "huge" 100 2.8.

Now all I'm waiting for one day is a full frame digital body the size of the old OM cameras, and I'm set.

As for the archive, I really wish they would reconsider it. This site is SUCH a valuable resource. Often I'm finding now that google results are pointing to posts on this site for the photography related searches I'm doing (A lens comparison for example), but it's gone and in the archive.

That black OM-4 and 40/2... I know it's sacrilege to many, but for a carry-anywhere shooter I think I'd take that over anything else in this thread. I wish that pancake wasn't so hard to come by.

Glad you like it. Given Oly E-P1, I dream one day we'll see a kinda OM-1D, and then...

Doesn't every one have a 180 cron?

Any how, here's a really exotic bit of glass, the polarising drop in filter for the cron. That little drop in filter cost me almost AUD700, new, but I simply couldn't find one second hand. There's a funky little dial on the outside that rotates the filter internally. It's nice, but SEVEN HUNDRED!!!

And the whole happy family.

It'll just teach my M6 not to get cocky, or the big bad 180 Cron will come and eat it all up.
